Essix 60 Tube Bass Amplifier
|
The sounds it makes: The Essix recreates tones from vintage Ampeg SVT and V4B amps while also pulling from the Traynor YBA-1A. The amp is versatile enough to even summon a vintage checkerboard Ampeg Portaflex and rivals it in recording situations. The sounds are big, round, warm, yet articulate.
